Overview of this book

Data is at the heart of all applications and forms the foundation of modern data-driven businesses. With the multitude of data-related use cases and the availability of different data services, choosing the right service and implementing the right design becomes paramount to successful implementation. Data Modeling for Azure Data Services starts with an introduction to databases, entity analysis, and normalizing data. The book then shows you how to design a NoSQL database for optimal performance and scalability and covers how to provision and implement Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Synapse SQL Pool. As you progress through the chapters, you'll learn about data analytics, Azure Data Lake, and Azure SQL Data Warehouse and explore dimensional modeling, data vault modeling, along with designing and implementing a Data Lake using Azure Storage. You'll also learn how to implement ETL with Azure Data Factory. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of which Azure data services are the best fit for your model and how to implement the best design for your solution.

Summary

In this chapter, you used the Azure Data Factory functionality from the Synapse Studio environment. You used the copy activity to export data from an operational database and store it in the raw section of the data lake. You then used both a data flow and T-SQL to pick up data from the data lake to load it into the data mart. The data is now ready for analytics. Using, for instance, Power BI, we can start creating reports and dashboards using the prepared data.

That concludes this book. You learned about different data stores and how to design those data stores for optimal performance while minimizing the cost. I hope this book will prove advantageous when it comes to using the knowledge acquired in real-world scenarios.
